In Reply to: When to machine a crank posted by Bkpigs on March 16, 2023 at 16:44:43:

first are u mechanicaly Inclined ? mechanic's know when and to and how. cause that has me wondering by u asking this question as your
sliding in new brg's. yourself. may i ask... do you know how this is done? as your saying guys just slipping bearings into motors...
[engines] . you look how brgs are wearing, measure your clearances with plastiguage on tear down. look and measure the crank. it is not
nessesary to be regrinding the crank if all is good and can be repaired with a set of brg's. plus the amount of hrs. on the engine, and oil
changes are in play also. the more often you change oil the less engine wear you will have. plus using the correct oil for the weather and
not pulling the guts out of it like steady lugging. and is this engine using oil? need to know that also. thats another thing that is never
said here. never ever hear someone say my tractor is burning a gallon of oil a day so i better give it an overhaul. and if you plan is to
do brg's at least do the rings also. as i always say when someone says they just overhauled the engine i get scared. just nicking the
crankshaft with a rod bolt is something you will never know till the next tear down. and all the other stuff not measured or checked. pull
a piston out replace the rings and stuff it back in , and good . ya right. lots more to it than that. everything inside the engine is
telling a story so read it. and when someone gives free info listen closely and observe that info, not get all pizzy pants and tell a
ticketed mechanic off like he has no clue, then they do the opposite. there is a few here like that . my squawking for the day.

Today's Featured Article - A Towny Goes Plowing - by Anthony West (UK). I live in an area renowned for its rural beauty. Small fields with hedgerows and trees are common place, as are small hamlets with village greens and the odd duck pond complete with swans. The center of any village once the shop is closed is the old tavern. Rustic places with cheerful names like "The Griffin" "Red Lion" or "The Plough and Harrow" are found dotted around the country lanes all over the place. The warm glow of yellowish light can be seen for quite some distance at dusk, and ... [Read Article]
